Cotton Street, S44 6HA,
Bolsover, Derbyshire.

Cemeteries

We believe the Chapel did NOT have a graveyard.
Note: any church within an urban environment may have had its graveyard closed after the Burial Act of 1853. Any new church built after that is unlikely to have had a graveyard at all.

Church History

This Place of Worship was founded in 1864, but we understand it was closed in 1898.

An account of Nonconformity in Bolsover, on the Victoria County History website (in 2014, then "Work in Progress") indicates that Primitive Methodism was introduced to Bolsover in 1819 by Jeremiah Gilbert. He was arrested for his pains; but afterwards meetings were held in a cottage in Hockley. This is information that the compilers obtained from a book Bolsover Methodist Church. Centenary Celebrations 1896-1996 (M. Clarke, 1995).
A permanent Chapel was not, however opened until 1864, and this was closed for Methodist worship in 1898, when the congregation moved to new premises in Welbeck Road. The building was then taken over by the Salvation Army, who occupied it until 1911, after which time it was converted into Council Offices. The plaque on the exterior of the building now reads: 'Bolsover Urban District Council' '1911', so unfortunately, it retains little of its original provenance.
The Salvation Army Hall afterwards moved to another location, for which there is a separate entry in this database.
Note: the Council Building is in the northern half of Cotton Street, which has been pedestrianised, so is not accessible from Google StreetView. [Sources: David Lindley/Rosemary Lockie]

Denomination

Now or formerly Primitive Methodist.

If more than one congregation has worshipped here, or its congregation has united with others, in most cases this will record its original dedication.

Search Tips:

You can specify either a Place, or OS Grid Reference to search for. When you specify a Place, only entries for that place will be returned, with Places of Worship listed in alphabetical order. If you specify a Grid Reference, Places of Worship in the immediate vicinity will be listed, in order of distance from the Grid Reference supplied. The default is to list 10, but you can specify How Many you want to see, up to a maximum of 100.

You can further refine your search by supplying other search terms.

You can specify entries with ('Yes') or without ('No') photographs.

You can specify a church or chapel's Dedication, to restrict entries to those containing the term you supply as a dedication. So for instance, 'John' would return 'St John', 'St Mary and St John', 'St John the Divine' &c.

You can specify a Street address, and likewise 'George' will return George Place, St George's Street, George and Dragon, &c.

You can restrict the search to classes of Denomination. The exact denomination is always shown in the results, although the search is for broad types. Thus you can search for 'Methodist', but not 'Wesleyan Methodist' or 'Primitive Methodist'. 'Multi-denominational' includes Ecumenical Partnerships, and 'Miscellaneous' means anything not covered by other broad classes.
